In just its second meet of the season, the Columbine High School gymnastics team fared well at the Green Mountain High School competition on Sept. 5, beating out Standley Lake High School for a second-place team finish behind Green Mountain.

As a team, the Rebel girls finished with a 160.275 score, while Green Mountain won with 164.950 and Standley Lake took third at 152.725.

LITTLETON — All season long, the Chatfield Senior High School Chargers have seen their ups and downs in softball, but after earning their third straight win, 10-0, on Tuesday against the visiting Evergreen High School Cougars, they’re feeling good heading into league play and beyond.

LITTLETON — In a cross country meet of grand proportions that saw nearly 100 teams from around Colorado and Wyoming, two local high school teams held their own amid stiff competition at the Liberty Bell Invitational 5K at Heritage High School on Friday.

For D’Evelyn High School, the girls dominated much of the competition in their field as they notched a second-place finish (69 score) in Division III, whereas the boys struggled a bit with a score of 238 at 11th place.

LAFAYETTE — Although the Dawson Volleyball Invitational on Saturday didn’t quite turn out the way the Front Range Christian High School team hoped, finishing fifth out of six attending teams, the Falcons did manage to walk away with their first win of the season.

The easiest part of Christian Holmes’ 17th birthday was a shutout victory in Chatfield’s 2017 boys tennis high school opener.

The reward for Holmes’ 6-0, 6-0 road victory over Dakota Ridge sophomore J.T. Abeita on Aug. 31 was a roughly eight-hour drive with his parents to Utah, where he played in the USTA Intermountain Level 4 Labor Day Masters tournament in Salt Lake City and squeezed in an unofficial recruiting visit to Brigham Young University in Provo, his top college choice.

It may be early in the season, but Columbine softball is already showing tremendous fight and grit after two come-from-behind victories, including a 7-6 win at home over Douglas County on Aug. 30.

“I’m extremely proud of these girls. This is the second time we’ve done this. Our first game against ThunderRidge, we were down 8-0. I can’t say enough about their character,” head coach Jim Santaniello said. “We were down 8-0 and we won 10-9, so it just shows the no-quit attitude that these girls have.”

LITTLETON — Front Range Christian began its third season of varsity play in boys soccer — the fourth year for the program overall — on Aug. 25. But with a new coach and an 11-player roster with seven freshmen and only one returnee from 2016, it seemed like the Falcons were starting from scratch again.

"We're essentially building for the future right now,'' coach Jason Hoffnagle said prior to an opening 8-0 home loss to Beth Eden Baptist.

It was all smiles, hugs and high-fives Monday as the Dakota Ridge volleyball team kicked off its season with a win against the Panthers of Boulder High School. The game was a rematch of last year’s contest, which saw the Eagles travel to Boulder and come home with a win in straight sets.

Despite the win in Boulder last year, the Eagles finished with a 7-16 record and are looking to turn things around this year with a senior-heavy team consisting of only three underclassmen.
